APPL 615
Missional Leadership
How can a church leader help his/her church become missional? Is this transition even possible, or must we begin new churches in order for sufficient "missional DNA" to be present? This course is intended to equip students and church leaders with the knowledge and skills to help transition a local church from a maintenance orientation to one of transformative missional engagement in a local neighbourhood. The course will address issues of missional ecclesiology from an applied perspective and explore the issues of organizational change and the nature of leadership in the context of a period of significant liminality for churches in the Western world. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own church context, re-read the biblical text from a missional perspective, and reconsider the relationship between the Missio Dei, the local church, and the neighbourhood.
